Envelope Greeting Card

In class yesterday, we created a fun greeting card - envelope style. This sample, created using our Envelope Punch Board, begins with a 6" x 6" piece of Designer Series Paper and includes a 4" x 3" greeting inside:

Thanks to the ladies who came to play! I hope you enjoyed yourself and look forward to trying this in different sizes :)

At our monthly Club Meeting today, we will be creating a card using the always popular stamp set Lovely As A Tree. I chose this stamp set in my starter kit almost nine years ago and am happy to say that it is still available and still lovely. This card was inspired by a direct-to-paper technique demonstrated by Michelle Zindorf at this year's convention (officially called Inspire. Create. Share).

For more ideas using this stamp set, you'll want to check out The Stamp Review Crew blog hop featuring this set. Many of the projects shared on the hop are projects that were shared at the recent Stampin' Up! convention. Our Crew was selected to share projects on an idea board; we chose to share projects using only Lovely As A Tree (a classic favorite) and Flower Patch (a new favorite). The blog hop for Flower Patch will take place this coming Monday (July 28). Rescheduled for Monday, August 4th.

Lately, I've fallen in love with watercolor paints. I can't draw to save my life, so my fascination with them has more to do with coloring things in or creating fun backgrounds with a wash of color. Recently I ran across this tutorial by Sandy Allnock showing how to use masking fluid and stencils to create backgrounds. I scrounged through my supplies and found a couple of stencils and gave it a try. Tip! In a lot of videos, the crafters encourage you to tape your watercolor paper down to a clipboard or cutting board to keep it from warping while you paint. Often they'll use the blue painter's tape, but I used washi since I had it on hand. I believe the idea is that a low-tack tape will hold the paper in place, but not damage the paper when it's time to peel it off. If you need to, tap the tape against your clothes a time or two before placing on your project.
Here are a few pictures of my projects as they came along:

Today, the Stamp Review Crew has a treat for you! Ten Demonstrators from around the world have come together to share a variety of projects created using the Stampin' Up! Bella & Friends stamp set. This adorable set features some cute puppies and other images that we know you will enjoy adding to your projects. Whether you've just been wow'd by Tanya's artistry or are starting here, we hope what we have created inspires you to create and share.

My project today is meant to reach out and offer encouragement. This image reminds me of those special people in life who will do what it takes to meet you where you are.

The clouds in the background were created with our Pattern Party masks and Embossing Paste. I smushed some Soft Sky ink onto a piece of plastic and then mixed in the paste. At the last minute, I added a sprinkle of Dazzling Diamonds to make it sparkle a bit. It's a subtle touch but it adds such a nice touch (in person, anyway…)
